Lunda

The Lunda are a Central African ethnic group native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Lunda spread to eastern Angola and Zambia during the 17th century, and they allied with the Luba tribe to create a powerful empire. Today, there are 500,000 Lunda in Angola, 750,000 in the Congo, and 200,000 in Zambia, and most of them speak Chilunda.
